Abstract

We discuss new data from Colonization Phase and Early Expansion/Development Phase assemblages in the pre-contact Society Islands. We focus on analysis of marine faunal remains and fishing gear to infer diachronic shifts in subsistence practices at two well-dated coastal sites. Both Colonization Phase (AD 950–1200) and Early Expansion Phase (AD 1200–1450) faunal assemblages are dominated by fish and mollusks as opposed to animal domesticates. Colonization Phase assemblages see higher capture of Scombrids and higher capture of marine mammals and turtle. Early Expansion fishhook assemblages and faunal remains document a movement towards increased capture of reef fish as well as the adoption of local styles and locally specific fishing practices. Overall, the diachronic trend in the Society Island diets is towards a decrease in turtle, marine mammal, and wild bird remains and an increase in terrestrial domesticated species roughly two hundred years after colonization, similar to patterns seen elsewhere in Eastern Polynesia.

随着时间的推移追踪社会群岛海洋生计的变化:动物遗骸和渔具的遗址内分析
我们讨论了来自与世隔绝前的社会群岛殖民化阶段和早期扩张/发展阶段集合体的新数据。我们重点分析了海洋动物遗骸和渔具,以推断两个年代明确的沿海遗址的生存方式的异时空转变。殖民阶段(公元 950-1200 年)和早期扩张阶段(公元 1200-1450 年)的动物组合都以鱼类和软体动物为主,而非家养动物。在殖民化阶段的动物群中,鲭科动物的捕获量较高,海洋哺乳动物和海龟的捕获量也较高。早期扩张期的鱼钩组合和动物遗骸记录了更多捕获珊瑚礁鱼类以及采用当地风格和当地特定捕鱼方式的趋势。总体而言,社会岛饮食的非同步趋势是,在殖民化大约两百年后,海龟、海洋哺乳动物和野生鸟类遗存减少,陆生驯化物种增加,这与东波利尼西亚其他地方的模式相似。

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
